Protect Wildlife <br />Avoid photodegradable erosion control <br />materials where possible. <br />Use only biodegradable materials <br />(typically made from natural fibers), <br />preferably those that will biodegrade under <br />a variety of conditions. <br />Wildlife friendly erosion control material <br />costs are often similar to conventional <br />plastic netting. <br />Minnesota <br />DEPARTMENT OF <br />NATURALRESOURCES <br />Literature Referenced <br />Barton, C. and K.
